Hi Ann, I have the Banbury PRS - thoughtiwould see if I could find the marriage of Ellen and George - however the methodist marriages are not listed for that period. The FreeBDM as the marriage listed for 1877 sept qtr. However I happened to check the Baptisms and found the following: George Blake baptised 22 September 1848 ; born May 1st son of George & Mary of Boddicott. These differ to the dates that you have is this another son George that possibly died!!

George and Ellen's nephew Edwin Stanley emigrated to Canada sometime after 1901. He enlisted in the Central Ontario Regiment of the Canadian Infantry on November 4th 1915 where his occupation was given as a real estate agent. He was unmarried and his mother in Bodicote Oxfordshire was named as his next of kin although his brother Arthur was noted as living in Alberta Canada. He put his religious denomination as Presbyterian . He was described as being 5 foot and 9 inches tall, with fair complexion, brown eyes and brown hair.(enlistment details obtained from the online Canadian Archives) He died in France on August 16th 1917 and was buried at Noeux-Les-Mines Communal Cemetery (see Commonwealth War Graves site). I found George Blake's birth and baptism in a list of Banbury Methodist circuit baptisms held at the Society of Genealogists. . He was probably either baptised at home or at Bodicote Methodist Chapel (sometimes known as Blakes Chapel), which was built in 1848 on land belonging to his father George Fessey Blake (1808-1872). He is recorded as being born October 1st 1850 and being baptised April 28th 1851. I haven't the exact date of his marriage but according to the faded newspaper cutting of his Golden Wedding it took place at Banbury Methodist Chapel. My newspaper cutting of George's funeral doesn't give a date, just that it was a Thursday afternoon. I did notice that Ellen wasn't listed among the mourners but in 1932 the Kings Sutton Primitive Methodists united with the Kings Sutton Wesleyan Methodists and on July 7th 1936 at the stone laying of the new Methodist Church Mrs Ellen Blake layed a stone.

Sorry I sent you the birth and baptism of George's sister Fanny Blake by mistake. As you say George Blake was born May 1st 1848 and baptised September 22 of the same year. There was an older brother George Blake but he was born and died in 1843.
